professors from China, Jianqiang
Wu and Ping Xia, teaching here

alike are learning to speak Chinese in a class which challenges
even the best linguists, grammarians, and modern language students.
Dr. Dana, head of the English
Dept. and member of the class,
commented that the Chinese have
many syllables which nearly defy

Mr. Wu. who served in Iraq as

TWIRP week shows large turn-out
By William Armstrong
Senior Editor of The Banner
TWIRP (The Woman Is Required to Pay) week was a great
success this year. Large numbers
of women became suddenly rather
outgoing, and provided adequate
crowds for the activities planned
by the ASCBC for this week by
asking men out, and paying for
the privilege.
Monday night, a crowd of
couples equaling nearly fifty people appeared in an entirely rented-
out theater for a showing of
Don't Tell Her It's Me. The movie rated about two stars {maybe,
if you were in a good mood), but
an added bonus was the large
"CBC" shadow which sublimi-
nally passed across the screen a
number of times as the movie began. The warning: "Please obverse silence" given on screen
before the previews was heartily
ignored as comments during the
movie were loud, usually pretty
funny, and definately numerous.
The live taping of a new sitcom on Tuesday night was enjoyed by all who went, but many
women chose to add another
create-a-date to their lists for that
night.
Wednesday night's creations
were many, and showed great imagination and flair. Dates ranged
from a night of test-driving cars
to a U2 theme date-complete
with a showing of Rattle and
Hum. One of the more notable
dates was a Christmas Theme
Date in the A.J. Staples room.
The atmosphere was set with a
Christmas tree, Christmas dress,
appropriate music, and red and
green M&M brownies, and activ-
ides included singing carols and
watching a Christmas movie.
Thursday, many of the people
attending discovered the hidden
cowboy within their dates which
they had never known existed.
But then, any excuse to dance is a
good excuse to dance...
And finally, tonight's trip to
Magic Mountain seems to be the
highlight of the whole week.
The original 70 tickets which
were available for the activity
were sold out almost immediately, and supplementary tickets
were awaited during this week,
and eventually failed to appear.
Those women who did not get
$7.00 tickets are asked to buy the
group rate $13.00 at the gate, and
the ASCBC will re-emburse
them later. Everyone is eagerly
looking forward to tonight. It
should be a blast.
